[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 382826, member: 1233"] Marg has EXCELLENT points. There is no real reason to allow this. Cgfg is more than aware that her mom does this. How is she to learn it is wrong? Start with school. Go up, or call, and tell them that you ordered X and Y packages and have NOT received them. Show them your check and the receipt you kept. Tell them you don't know who they were sent to or why, but you want them ASAP. Make sure cgfg knows that you are starting this. If you need to, tell the school that if they sent them to someone else and that person kept them that it is theft and NOT YOUR PROBLEM. It is the school's problem. When stuff comes up with the judge this also needs to be mentioned. Cgfg's mother just stole $50 from you as surely as if she walked up and took it out of your wallet. Are you REALLY fine with letting her do this to "keep the peace"? HOw is your step daughter to think it is not okay to steal from you and walk all over you when her mom does this with impunity? For that matter, how are your husband and even Wee to learn that you will stand up for yourself if you continue to let this woman stomp you into the dirt? Heck, maybe next picture day you should just give cgfg's mom the $$ for the pictures??? Isn't allowing her to do this the exact same thing?? At some point you have to stand up for yourself Shari. It is important - not just for you but also for your children. How will they grow up to be parents who are the kind of people you want raising your grandkids if they see this kind of example of parenting all the time. we really DO grow up to be our parents, or the opposite of our parents. You do a LOT of things very much right, but you are very much too willing to let people walk all over you with-o any complaints or demands for respect from you. Is that REALLY the person you want to be? Email cgfg's mother to say that if you do not get exactly what you ordered (and list everything), then you will make a stink with the school and the picture people so big they will remember it forever. Hugs. You can do this! [/QUOTE]
